Located at a depth of 70 meters (230 feet), this underground museum gives its visitors a unique opportunity to get themselves familiar with the nuts and bolts of mining engineering and see how snow-white gypsum is mined underground via tour around an underground gypsum mine. A part of the museum’s display is dedicated to history of mining engineering and developing of local gypsum deposit that began back in 1930’s.

Old entrance to the mines which is not used anymore.

Right at the new entrance to the mine stand lots of mine cars filled to the brims with gypsum.

The thing is that the museum itself is located in the existing mines. But gypsum digging is performed 2.5 kilometers away from the entrance and the museum is located 300 meters away.

Every visitor is given a helmet, flashlight and a special vest. Because the temperature inside can be as low as +9C (+48F.)
